"Disabled student seeks compensation for USIU lift hurdle"

A student living with disability has sued United States International University-Africa (USIU) for faulty lifts and stairs that cannot be accessed on a wheelchair. The student...says the institution has ignored her pleas to repair lifts in its Science Centre, causing her to arrive late for an end of semester exam in August for which she was not granted additional time to complete. She wants the court to compel the university to pay her unspecified damages and upgrade the lifts and stairways to provide equal access for disabled students.
